Its not a good idea to have Fleming open. We got Dravid to open in the tests and it didnt work out at all. Dravid said that although it seems the same as batting at number 3 as the openers were getting out soon anyway, the mental frame of an opener and a number 3 and other batsmen is not the same. Saying that, some people can infact make a transformation from a middle order to an opener, like Shastri who averaged pretty well in tests opening the innings.
